    I have two questions or comments:

    1. It looked like you were driving the line and the Porsche drivers had trouble finding it. We they that lost or you were just running them down?

    2. How much would it cost if you smashed into one the Wind Towers?

    Cool vids, thanks for sharing.
    That circuit looks very nice, sort of an arcade game thing going on with the wind towers...very cool. Regarding the sound....the straight six on the E46 M3 CSL simply plays music, very good sounding engine that I love to hear.

    Saludos.

    1, question, I would say you are dead on, Porsche drivers had trobel finding the line. A pretty common sight I am sorry to say as the myth of the rear heavy porsche is making many peopel afraid, hence they go the longer safe line.

    In my opinion ther is no problem to go tighter and as well the shorter line as well i a Porker, very much so these modern Porsche that is in the film.

    2, windtowers, dont want to think about it

    Very nice driving. I would liked the videos better if you placed the camera so that we could see your steering-action.

    Regarding the line, I think you need to sit with Alec for a few laps. On the long left hand turn, you need to take it further outside. Otherwise OK.

    Gotlandring is very techical, it takes time and a lot of thinking to get correct lines. Just hope they get the south side built as well, to get some more speed and straights.

    Congrats on great driving. Also looks like the csl is in great balance, only a small amount of understeering.

    Not to take the honour from you, but some of these Porsche guys are amateurs!

    GR is one of the tracks i've missed, but there's a chance with GRC this very season. Hopefully i will try it, it looks nice!

    What car do you bring along? The arrangement looks great, but I like riding slicks

    Actually, GRC http://www.grc.as are at Gotland the 1st of May, so it's no more than 1 day away. I've never tried Gotland before, heard some good words about that track, so sooner or later i will go there. It's a MUST!

    For now, my 2009-season isn't planned completely, also negotiating with GRC Racing http://www.grc-racing.com for some races, and if that become a fact, some of my trackdays will be nuked.... but let's keep in touch about this topic Erik.

    Do you know Erik Jirhall (Gallardo owner) from GRC?

    I'm sure you can drive on slicks if you like. At lot of people from GRC will drive on the 2nd as well I think, but I recommend you book ASAP! Don't wait if you're interested.

    I know Mr Jirhall yes.

    I'm more than hooked, but I need to know wheather my mechanic can fix the car... as I wrote earlier it's in for some boost - I'm quite excited about the result

    But thanks anyway Erik.
